Joe Allen The standard line is 1/8 the gauge fitting is almost a one time compression ferrell made of steel. If it will turn and unscrew may be able to re-use if it will seal again. In my pile of 60 year old used fittings there are some junkers that have been cut off and will be a turkey-shoot to re-use. I think they're offered in brass by our vendors that will work and are new.
